| Biotechniques is a course
that is very unique to any high school campus. The course consists
of many "hands-on" activities ranging from simple anatomical drawings to
in-depth dissections and bone articulations. We will have the opportunity
to enhance our knowledge of the structure and function of various organisms
by utilizing prepared specimens. As time permits we may also delve
into the essence of life itself; the DNA molecule. With the proper
biological technique we can actually extract DNA in the elaboratory.
This highly organized course is adaptable to any current biological issues
we may wish to explore. This is a demanding, rigorous course which
lends itself well to the highly motivated, independent student.
